Camden Electronics has introduced its upgraded and enhanced Eleckson range of sealed lead acid batteries, the UL-approved Europa Plus family Offering UL 94 V0 flame-retardant cases as standard, the new Europa Plus range represents a significant enhancement to an already high quality and reliable product line

Flame retardancy makes these batteries ideal for use in fire alarm and emergency lighting systems as well as a wide range of typical applications such as cable television, communications equipment, computer backup, control equipment, marine equipment, portable lighting, power tools, security systems, solar powered systems, toys and models, uninterruptible power supplies, vending machines, access control, medical/rehabilitation equipment, power supplies and remote telemetry.

A wide range of capacities is available from 1.3 to 100Ah encompassing 6 and 12V versions.

Various connector styles can be supplied including two types of Faston tabs and three types for M5 bolt fastening.

Europa Plus batteries are based on absorbent glass mat (AGM) separator construction with the acid gel contained in AGM to give non-spillable, maintenance-free construction.

The batteries are leak proof with no requirement for forced venting and can be used in any position.

In addition, advanced gas recombination gives low gassing and removes the need to add water.

A low-pressure relief valve opens for gassing and seals to prevent oxygen ingress.

Additional features of the Europa Plus range include a low self-discharge rate (typically less than 3% per month) to ensure long storage life, excellent recovery from deep discharge and a charge/discharge cycle life in excess of 1000 depending on depth of discharge.

The range offers up to five years float service.

Europa Plus is the enhanced and upgraded Eleckson range of batteries that has been highly successful in Europe since 1997 and provides a wide range of high-quality, competitively priced sealed lead-acid batteries as direct mechanical and electrical alternatives to industry-leading brands.
